Thursday I had the privilege of having lunch with Michael Novelli. Michael is the author of the book,
Shaped by the Story. One of the things we talked about is the importance of connecting the stories of the Bible to the overarching story of God. On a yellow pad, Michael wrote "creation" on the left side, and "new creation" on the right side. Each event in the Bible (and in our lives) either defines the beginning or the new beginning or describes life in between. I was reminded of the importance of helping kids find their place in God's big story instead of simply teaching them random, isolated stories from the Bible. As Michael said, "Context is king."
I am very pleased to say that Michael Novelli is going to be leading a workshop on Bible Storying at
Crossroads
on March 17, 2012. He is the first of four presenters in a series of
training workshops called "Spring Training." The workshops are open to
all churches regardless of their affiliation (or not) with Crossroads.
